Earl Crewe is e sonâ€"in-law of Lord Bosebery, and even if the Unionist part-y should come into power next year in Great Britain, the colonial secretary would probably still be a not improbable choice for the Ca~ nadian governorship. His appoint mom: or that of Lord Merle)" who is also mentioned for the position, would be well received here. Mr. John T.
